LIM #10 OLC Sentiment

Thank you less is more http://simplylessismoore.blogspot.com/2011/04/week-10-one-layer-challenge-sentiment.html for getting me to try this technique. I was at a rubber stamping convention when I learned about heat & stick powder and gold foil. I purchased the necessary items to play and they have been in my drawer for about 2 years now! I stamped the sentiment with a glue pad by Tsukineko and sprinkled on Stamp and bond embossing powder by stampendous. I used my heat gun to melt the powder and make it sticky, then sprinkled assorted shades of gold foil over the sentiment and pounced and brushed over the image with a stencil brush to make the foil stick to the glue and taa-daa! pretty good for a first attempt. Now maybe I'll play with it more...?

About Me

I'm a wife and mother of two girls. I'm currently on a quest to tidy up my home and my craft room using the Marie Kondo Method. I started a blog diary to hold myself accountable, to track my progress, and hopefully to encourage others to get organized too. I love to create with paper and make handmade cards. I have an Etsy shop that helps me to express my creativity while making a little money to buy more craft supplies! I hope you'll check out both my diary and my card making blogs, and follow along or leave a question or comment. Thank you for reading!
